The '90s Rock Bands

By the time anybody gets to read this, Yahoo! must have pulled out Rob O'Connor's "The 25 Best Alternative Rock Bands Of The 1990s" as if there was alternative rock in the '90s. Alt was mainstream in the '90s.

Here's his list:
25. Sebadoh. I've heard their music or album. Bleech.
24. Dinosaur Jr.
23. Sonic Youth, at 23? Should be top 3 or lower.
22. Pavement. Heavy for me is heavy, and a headache.
21. Flaming Lips. I guess, I liked them, too.
20. Cracker. I did not have nothing against this group, but not enough for me to have them stand out. Jesus, I was listening to loads, like a thousand tapes more to play...
19. Beck. Beck, a Dylan? of course not! But he sure should be on # 2.
18. Weezer. I like 'em, too, with a stupid grin plastered on my cheek.
17. Giant Sand. I am ignorant about a lot of things, including this dune.
16. Afghan Whigs. I am not sure now whether I liked 'em or not.
15. The Breeders. Who didn't like the Breeders?
14. Belle & Sebastian. If ignorance is a mortal sin, I should be shot.
13. Elliott Smith. Or hanged.
12. Mudhoney. Of course I love this band!
11. PJ Harvey. Did she emerge in the '90s? I have this nasty feeling of associating her with Linkin' Park. And it's not an easy feeling.
10. Nirvana. Why the hell... this ain't no alternative in the '90s. They DEFINED THE '90s.
9. Guided by voice. Am ignorant, shoot me again.
8. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Yeah.
7. Vic Chestnutt. Yes, he's good.
6. The Fall. I already had 3 bullets in.
5. Mark Lanegan. Make it five bullets.
4. Julian Cope. Six bullets.
3. American Music Club. Duh!
2. Red House Painters. I'm riddled, brought to the emergency room.
1. Tom Waits. Declared dead.

Here's My '90s list in no particular order nor label:
Alice in Chains
Sonic Youth
Nirvana
Live
Weezer
Tori Amos
Collective Soul
The Breeders
Jill Sobule
Cypress Hill
Beastie Boys
Sugar Ray
Beck
Soul Asylum
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Lenny Kravitz.

But many in my albums' list are compilations I should be posting sometime. And all these are of course western. I have my own local list listed elsewhere... Without time frame.

I've reacted because this is a Yahoo! list. While Microsoft may have pretended not to have any interest on Yahoo!, Yahoo! still tops personal e-mailing in the world.
